So.. there are several things I can post about; most obvious would be meeting Ingrid, my future step mom. I'm still thinking about all of that.
But, what it all comes down to is WD40. Friday night I got locked out of my house. Leaving for dinner I locked the front door and the key got stuck. I called Ruth while I stood outside in the cold, jiggling my key. David and Teresa were sweet to drive out to my house with WD40 in hand. I was nervous that wouldn't work (and also annoyed that I had some just feet away - locked in the house). But, a few seconds after spraying the lock, the key turned freely and I could come in and comfort my poor puppy who had to endure listening to me sob at the front door for the past hour.
Tuesday I finally got around to changing the front porch light that has been out since before I moved in. I borrowed a ladder from Tom, who said I may have difficulty getting it set up. I did. So I tried WD40 again. Worked like a charm, the ladder now opens and closes with ease. Although changing the bulb was still an ordeal, since I'm terrified of heights.
